Tara & Joy Love to Ramble

Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. Barbara Kingsolver

If I'm Brave


If I'm Brave
- Alli Rogers
I will find my place
I don’t know what’s going on today
but lead me down
whatever path has led me here
I may never conquer this fear

But you have never left me
I have sunken inward and scattered out again
And you have never left

And if I’m brave I will find my place
Maybe courage is not all they say
Cause I have found
that the sweetest moment on this road
is moving forward, not knowing where to go

And you have never left me
I have broken down
and danced around your truth
And you have never left

If I’m brave I will move through fear
Through circling around and nothing’s ever clear
I will find my place, through jumping up and down
and I still can’t see your face

But you have never left me
I have run away and denied your name
and you have never left
You have never left me
And if I’m brave I will, if I’m brave

I am searching- constantly and consistently searching for this path, this road, this place that i am supposed to be. I am looking for it so hard that I am missing the point. Why am i searching for a place? Why am i searching for the right path? We are called to follow him- that is it- he didnt say take this road and i will meet you at the end- he said walk with me...
Julie and I were coming back to school this past Sunday and I followed her back- What a great drive- I didn't have to wonder once where I was going or if I would get lost or miss a turn here or there- all I had to was follow her- she would lead me right where I needed to be... All I had to do was trust...
